Hard work means nothing without determination.

I have been ignoring my goals.  It happens so easily to me.  I get busy with what is going on in my life and completely ignore everything else that should matter to me.  Lets change that now!  Yesterday an employee of mine said her sister started selling the "Body by Vi" stuff.  Basically it's a diet shake that you drink instead of a meal.  She was asking me what the difference was between doing that and using Slim-Fast.  Basically, I can't think of anything except Slim-Fast has lots of products now and you have 3 snacks a day plus 2 shakes and 1 healthy meal.  Body by Vi has the shakes and some gross cookies you are suppose to eat for a snack.  I'm not sure what a price difference is, but we made a wager about it...  Her sister is using the Body by Vi method, she is going with good ole fashioned diet and exercise and I am going to try the Slim-Fast diet and see what happens in 3 weeks before she leaves to go off to college.  I have done the Slim-Fast diet before and lost weight, but as always, it's a fad diet in which you lose weight while you are doing it but it isn't a healthy way of keeping it off.  Once you quit the shakes and resume eating regular food you usually gain the weight back.  At least that has always been my experience.  Determination has set in.  It is my goal to win this three week competition.  Slim-Fast shall prevail!  lol.....
